Audiophiles are older than dirt
Someone sent this to me recently. If you remember number 16..... then you are older than dirt.
Older Than Dirt Quiz :
Count all the ones that you remember not the ones you were told about.
Ratings at the bottom.
1. Blackjack chewing gum
2.Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water
3. Candy cigarettes
4. Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles
5. Coffee shops or diners with tableside juke boxes
6. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers
7. Party lines on the telephone
8 Newsreels before the movie
9. P.F. Flyers
10. Butch wax
11.. TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show and
were there until TV shows started again in the morning. (there were
only 3 channels... [if you were fortunate])
12. Peashooters
13. Howdy Doody
14. 45 RPM records
15. S& H green stamps
16. Hi-fi's

18. Mimeograph paper
19. Blue flashbulb
20. Packards
21. Roller skate keys
22. Cork popguns
23. Drive-ins
24. Studebakers
25. Wash tub wringers
If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young
If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older
If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age
If you remembered 16-25 = You're older than dirt!
I wonder what it means if you read posts on Audiogon that are titled;
"What is Hi-Fi", "How is mid-fi defined", "Hearing tests, where and how", "I need help with a Dual 1291 that rumbles", "New stereo trend", "Tubes and moisture", "TT sounds so bad, I cringe", "Real audiophiles dont like remotes", "Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC", "What did you own in the 60s?", "Vacuum tube chess set", "Aging technology verse inevitably aging ears", and this lollapaloozer "An audiophile goal" and finally "Farewell my friends".
Yeah, we are all older than dirt!
